of ten million looks like a huge beach fountains have turned to bathtubs with people taking every opportunity to plunge into something cooler than the ceiling area around but it's probably safer alternative to a we were swimming with a grim statistics of three hundred drownings this week alone and it doesn't look like russians who haven't read from this furnace anytime soon. this is a serious abnormality the russian weather service has never measured such temperatures in moscow in july according to our calculations it hasn't even reached its peak here but not everyone's feeling the heat rushes some drink an ice cream pretty soon and making a fortune barbers in the country having a busy time to the everything over haircut is a hit the summer one line shops like this one selling air conditioners and fans have waiting lists that run into english by being a container with. mobile conditioners sold out within three weeks just as the heat set in many moscow based companies fail to perceive this heat and they didn't want

to fill their warehouses because of the crisis last summer we had rains this year no one was ready for the heat in a situation where no mounds of money can buy a global fresh air emergency centers are receiving thousands of calls from people suffering from heat stroke and sundering. people with lung diseases will find it hard of course it'd be better to take them somewhere where there's no smoke another option would be to buy them respect to treatment ask they sell them in pharmacies it's far from a dog's life or a furry friends either this canine takes several showers a day to keep cool its owner to do you feel for his bet that it's stuck with his goat all year round. starbuck there's a look at the poor dog is suffering so much it always comes to sit in my lap said ice hoping i can somehow ease the hit all i can do is pull cold water on it if not only cheers not making people suffer enough she's quite prepared to fru few under fire literally with

a tinder dry conditions leading to forest fires some of which have been burning for weeks because of the temperatures are going to be up every day it's very tough for a start recently i heard a story about someone frying eggs on the pavement. now that sounds like a challenge when life gives you lemons make lemonade well in this case muscovites have been given one big of an and i say make omelet at their market are. always interested in your opinions on the stories we're covering and you can have your say on our website that sati dot com of course and the russian heatwave story is no exception as today we're asking how you keep cool in scorching temperatures so far the majority of voters forty nine percent of you know paid to me walking around in just that underwear twenty nine percent less provocative they prefer to turn on the air conditioner if they're lucky enough to have one of course while fifteen percent stock up on ice cubes in the minority of us going to stick their

heads in the fridge for too long or have what's your opinion known to r.t. dot com and have your heat wave say. the hague's international court of justice ruled this week that the cost of this declaration of independence was legal it's not a binding decision but that's not stopping some countries from raising their voices the u.s. and many european countries praised the move but most won't affect it stands still wants dialogue between serbia and kosovo great aunt used the call to storm declarations galatea possible as new penn state serbia claims that the session in two thousand and eight it's going to. have to step up its diplomatic efforts to stop countries recognizing kosovo journalist and historian the voice which says the court's decision is unjust. quite honestly didn't expect the world court to take such a directly pro-american position to be perfectly honest what course always as much

independent does manchukuo vichy france was in world war two it's a puppet state it suffers from endemic corruption abuses of power its government structure can be best described as organized crime it is not a state in any way shape or form just because the u.s. state department says it is it doesn't mean it is. or the hague's opinion on the cost of a sponsor reaction from two other states seeking recognition. say the court's decision confirms the double standards of western countries over their right to independence as a prime minister's says the publics have the right to their own sovereignty and course of. moet of fact but even though the president confirms a people's right to determine their own identity at the same time giving our arguments more weight on the other hand when it's all politicized and we can be sure that if we went to the hague we would get a similar ruling we probably wouldn't in spite of the fact that we have more

historical legal and moral grounds to demand independence than kosovo double standards do exist it's not a secret to anyone in any case people who object to our independence will now find it difficult to openly claim that we don't have the right to determine our own standing. group accused of not seeing race hate crimes until tests of encouraged out on for the accused thirteen men were standing trial suspected of dozens of african killings and terror plots but if convicted could face life in jail with dozens of people killed as a result of race hate crimes in russia. the issue of national politics is now political parties as they say. this self professed and deeply religious woman is full of hate hate for those who are different hate for immigrants she accuses of occupying disrespecting and contaminating her nation russians she

insists are fighting a race war motivated by love books a love for one homeland and i would nation love for good people families where people don't just date and then break up but rather they get married in church they don't practice abortions the don't support interest nic marriages does abort the ethnically mixed communities and what are your thoughts about me i'm not russian i'm african american i'm here are you upset that your government gave me a visa what are your thoughts on that you. will be doing it i believe everyone should leave in their own homeland. armed with this belief and inspired by racist blocking her husband you can like her life and to fellow students. the market in two thousand and six they target it because of the number of traders that come from central asia and china a blast killed fourteen attacks against looking people are often brutal and in cases like yours kosky market they are deadly the deeds of angry mob family

a myth aids obviously is not a myth that's an acronym for a. suppression well people become immune suppressed all over the world every day for all types of different reasons lots of things cause lowered immunity and illness. whether it be has been proven to be a viable infectious virus that sexually transmitted i think is really the bigger question for me this use of polar opposites to some of the calls at the official conference so early treatment a prevention we also pay out more drugs will then we have ever had before to treat a trophy and these drugs are more potent they're something more they're more tolerable and they're very effective the cash opinions has led to harsh recriminations on face sides if there is a place to classical explanations labeling the conference an aids marketing fair and a description of an aids condemning the p.r. success must in turn not agreeing with the mainstream hiv theory of aids has been

compared to holocaust denial and called a crime against humanity a science that is alive has to have the permission to question a certain model of thinking serious thinking no you don't bring in here a dying patient so that we have to act immediately and give him something we are discussing here we're scientists and medical doctors why should we not be able to discuss i'm very astonished that the reaction is sometimes so aggressive. the science the basis seems the one area those sides do agree on is the importance of human rights religious an issue the right to freedom of speech. the right to choose what to believe and ultimately the right to have treatment provided to you if that's what you feel could save your life or right there whichever psyche food is still to donate money there for. the end.

investigators poor security at a power plant in russia south. vulnerable to attack a gunman stormed a hydroelectric station come again about car on wednesday leaving to go instead of destroying two generators he's been reported that the militant leader sure was behind the storming of the north caucasus power plant detonated four bombs more than ten kilos of. some of this in the number of attacks uncovered you know with ten assaults on going. to put the retreat in the center and school studies explains that the situation there is actually improving. that taking any opportunity to interest of their activities there. significantly in the recent years so this is much better from economic and social point of view people have more hopes and optimism for the future and therefore the positions of their

weiland millet them sound the radical islamists here significantly degrading says usually try to get to the soldier the most to say first begin now this is all thanks to all the jihad these you know so they always try to at their strongholds like for instance it was in central asia when they were taking is based on which was one of the strongest states therefore saying ok in this strong state then it will be able to win their weak state as well they try to refute this situation so they are taking the safe fears then the strongest one of the strongest republics which lay actually lies in the heart of the north caucasus mitri protocol from the center of political studies. the science over america's worst terrorism could become an islamic center and interests are we also people in the city where muslim fundamentalists kill thousands and one day where they make of the idea.

so why do you think i get so emotional and say that. because i think it is frustrated with their ignorance. something to blame. one way to go about it. afghanistan wants to take full control of its future by two thousand and fourteen president karzai is deadline was announced on tuesday as more than sixty nations and organizations gathered in the capital kabul for the country's biggest international event in decades however britain and pakistan have already said that some international forces may remain beyond that date to train afghan police the meeting also focused on reconstructing and developing the war torn country as well

as fighting corruption drugs russia's foreign minister pledge that moscow will continue to help. we're committed to supporting you in efforts on stabilizing afghanistan we will continue to allow transit of international cargo and personnel to afghanistan retore we're working on additional measures to cook afghan forces together with our partners we're also helping restore the afghan economy this year russia rolled off the remainder of ghana stands hundred ninety one million dollars we will continue to provide humanitarian assistance. a u.s. drone attack has reportedly killed up to five suspected militants in northwest pakistan intelligence officials say several people have been injured this follows they strike in the area in which sixteen people died u.s. forces use unmanned planes extensively to target taliban fighters in pakistan but many believe it's many civilians who died.

the comma out of the blue i have two words for you predator drugs i you'll never see it coming a drew nice ten times cheaper than a fighter jet it requires no pilot so there are no troop deaths to explain it's the perfect weapon for covered cia operations in countries like pakistan and afghanistan if things go wrong you can deny it all and things do go wrong studies by independent international experts suggest that for every militant killed as many as fifteen civilians also die there's no way of getting exact numbers the cia keeps its drones program under wraps but the united nations and other international organizations question the legality of the extensive use of the weapon when you come to sort of undeclared war with organizations like al qaida or the taleban and you go off the persians you say hey we suspect we say they are terrorists but who

has proven that the person you're actually targeting terrorists but humanitarian concerns seem to be doing little to dampen surging international demand for groans also known as unmanned aerial vehicles or u.a.e. vs the military appetite is such that the market is expected to grow to a staggering fifty five billion dollars in ten years from now with the advances in technology they depersonalize warfare and so therefore you have people war willing to use them and you have people that don't understand the consequences because the people who are flying the drones are not on the battlefield they're not in the play here in washington d.c. suburb but the are a drone operator wakes up in the morning family goodbye come to the office and shoot at targets thousands of miles away from here and go back home no risk or pull whatever specialist say the whole operation reminds the b.t.o.

get. the question many ask is if it is so easy and convenient we'll get our m.p. way to move forward in the future or worse. why not use the people especially against the smaller countries and organizations. you know to try to shift around the cable were to get over demonstrators outside cia headquarters at the start of the year protested against indiscriminate killings by unmanned weaponry they say that rather than winning war drones merely make more enemies by killing mostly innocent people are fueling rather than quelling insurgency. r t washington d.c. . now across russia marking navy day a major celebration which is held in. every year the display of north school clowns who's also big in ukraine where russia's huge black sea fleet is based there in fifteen thousand gathered to watch the parade. talked to our country as are those

inside the book will come through the thousands of people as we say have gathered what are they get to see. well it was a breathtaking display here crowds cheering waving flags everybody very excited to see all of their. specific actions and displays that were played on for the crowds and of course for the dignitaries that came to attend this navy day parade of course it was dedicated to the sixty fifth anniversary of russia's victory in the great patriotic war as you can see i'm wearing a striped shirt those are the colors of the russian navy and almost every second person here in the ukrainian city of sevastopol is dressed the exact same way kids grown ups basically people of all ages are dressed to impress dressed in the colors of the navy of course it's a huge day force of us because this is where the russian black sea fleet is stationed it's been stationed here since it's very gracious and. for the locals

it's as much a part of their history as anything else of course their annual presence at this parade this year's parade a very exciting sight of course lots of displays lots of battleships passing by lots of. showmanship displays for example. the fleets showing rescue operations showing a military attack operations and of course this isn't just all for show the russian black sea fleet is very actively participating in operations such as fighting off parrots off the african coast pacifically somali impair pirates and those of the black sea fleet has actually participated in quite a lot of those operations where it has actually been successful in three vessels that have been taken captured by some of the somali pirates and the black sea fleet ships have actually been very successful in freeing them so this display isn't just all for show it's an actual display of their skills and there's of course were very

well received here in the ukrainian city of sevastopol this tremendous displays that i understand there's an extra commemoration taking place where you are very briefly take us through that country. is today is a big day for so that's the open not only is it russian navy day with the parade going on but also it is the ninetieth anniversary of the departure from the crimea from this very city save us the opening of a lot of the members of the russian white guard and the so-called russians and to begin some of the russian elite and aristocrats see they were forced to leave the crimea pushed out by the red army they were basically given no choice either to stay and perhaps lose their lives or to leave and this is where their ships set off set sail off for the coast of turkey and today on the nineteenth anniversary of that event many commemorative actions are taking place throughout the city but of course one of the biggest ones is a replica of that ship those ships exact route and that ship will leave us though.

here today and replicate the exact route that those people took in one thousand nine hundred twenty to commemorate all of those who were forced to leave ok thanks for that and it was a question as are of a following the navy day events for us in sort of stuff thank you. well you might have thought that suggest to go mosque be built at ground zero in new york would have swelled the anti muslim sentiments but as online talk show host only hoffa has discovered there's plenty of tolerance in the city where america's worst terror. the city of new york is considering a proposal for the construction of an islamic center and mosque at ground zero do you think this is an appropriate site for a mosque this week let's talk about that i think it's a good idea to build a mosque there by actually i would put the idea sort of. well for the actual why

why. why there's a big problem when people equate islam with nine eleven going after the oklahoma city bombing happened we don't equate you know christianity with that i think it's the qur'an teaches peace and nonviolence. if the mosque up holds the traditions of the qur'an i don't have any problem with it i have a problem with anybody blowing up buildings i'm all for it so why do you think some people get so emotional and say it's the wrong thing to do because i think this is frustrated with their ignorance so they need somebody to blame something to blame so. that's like one way to go about it people who are afraid of the unknown they don't understand. so maybe building a mosque would help people understand and the idea is that the way i understand it is actually not just a mosque it's a center for interactivity it's a center for people to meet i believe it's been supported by some rabbis actually i

think it's all politics and i think they use in the media to make it an excuse to do what they want to do for the best interests of the politicians it doesn't matter all of the emotions that they're pulling out of people it's all about politics whether or not you support a mosque being built where the twin towers once stood let's just hope that everyone remembers it was cultural intolerance that caused ground zero in the first place. well look now at some other stories making headlines around the world today a stampede off an easy festival a move in germany has now claimed at least nineteen lives over three hundred forty others were injured as crowds tried to come to the very crowded entrance tunnel to the love parade this if you do sports event continued as police and organizers feared a second wave of panic if the festival was abruptly stopped the love parade festival
